What we’re doing

Antenna suite provider

Lockheed Martin selected us to design, develop, manufacture and test the communications, navigation and identification integrated body antenna suite for the F-35 Lightning II, based on our leadership in developing low observable antenna technology. The aircraft’s antenna suite includes 15 configurations for the three F-35 variants operating at UHF Satcom and Line-of -Sight, L-band, S-band, C-band and radar altimeter. The integrated body suite qualification was completed in June 2005 and initial production has begun at our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility.
